mmh, just one thought: Cookie Handling in IE is known to be
buggy^H^H^H^H^H lazy - and maybe sends back cookies to 'host' though it
comes from 'host.mydomain.com' and vice versa.

I once stumbled in this trap: I tested a servlet on my localhost with
Netscape (I am not forced to give my own domain name, then):
  http://host/someservlet
and made a redirect to another servlet, using part of the request URI ..
The Servername of the Apache has been configured to be 'host.mydomain.com'
so the redirect arrived at
  http://host.mydomain.com/redirect
.. and the cookie was invalid since Netscape didn't sent it to this 'new'
Host -> session invalid.

Could this be your problem ?

ciao,
